UCL academics needed: open access research in online repositories

16 July 2014

Do you have a few minutes to spare? UCL academics are being
asked for their opinions on developments in open access
research and how libraries might help facilitate this.

If you are a member of UCL
academic staff who publishes their research (whether this is online or
otherwise) and wish to participate in the brief survey, which should only take
a few minutes to complete, please do so here: https://opinio.ucl.ac.uk/s?s=31203

The research will feature in a
Master’s dissertation focused on investigating if and how academics choose to
make their research freely accessible online, and their opinions about doing
so.

The survey is collecting
anonymised non-sensitive data, and has been approved as being in line with UCL
ethical standards by both the Head of Department and the Departmental Ethics
Committee of the Department of Information Studies.

Please contact the MA LIS
Programme Director Anne Welsh,
a.welsh@ucl.ac.uk, if you have any questions or concerns.
